Hello, I used to be able to add Post Fields to "WooCommerce Views filter fields." However, recently, I found out that is no longer possible. Furthermore, all the fields that I created previously were left in it and cannot be edited.

Is there another way to edit the "WooCommerce Views filter fields?"

Yes, we have changed due to the below reason.

In the past, the WCV (WooCommerce Views) filter fields were added automatically and handled by the Types plugin.
Just like any other field groups, Types allowed you to edit this field group.
But these fields should not be altered in any way by users to preserve the fields group original functionality.
So we made this field group "readonly."

We have done this because of issues like these:

In multisites, this is not implemented to network administrators since they have all the capabilities as provided by WordPress. This change only applies to ordinary administrators on single sites.

The only way to solve your issue is this:

1. Roll back to WCV 2.7.3
https://toolset.com/download/toolset-woocommerce-views/#changelog
2. Remove your Fields from that Group
3. Add your Fields to another, Custom Group.

I apologise for the issue, but this Field Group was never intended to be used or manipulated in such a way.

I am sure you can understand the original issue and our reasoning behind this change.
